How it works
No account, no setup – pick a technique and begin. The app guides you through the rest.
Power Breathing with a breath-hold phase, or a guided technique such as 4-7-8, Box Breathing or Coherent.
A calm tone and a gentle vibration lead each phase – a breathing ring shows you when to inhale and exhale.
Hold times, streak and personal bests are tracked automatically – optionally as mindful minutes in Apple Health.
Features

A gentle reminder at your preferred time – keep the habit going, with zero pressure.
Intense breathing techniques and breath holding can cause dizziness or fainting. Never practise in or near water, while driving, or around machinery – only in a safe seated or lying position.
